What is Part P Electrical Work?

Part P of the Building Regulations governs the safety of electrical installations in dwellings in England and Wales. Certain "notifiable" work — such as new circuits or work in bathrooms — must either be carried out by an electrician registered with a Competent Person Scheme (e.g. NICEIC, NAPIT, STROMA) who self-certifies it, or be notified to and inspected by building control. Compliant work is recorded with an electrical installation certificate.
